Magic is a miracle? No, it's an illusion.
魔術是要把假的變成真，卻不是要把真的變成假。我們本以為是真的，原來都只是一場假的誤會……
一個以表演魔術為生的爸爸，不但是城裏出色的魔術師，也是家中的領袖，為觀眾及家人帶來一個個驚嘆不已的奇蹟。爸爸在一次大型魔術表演後一舉成名，卻突然銷聲匿跡，遺下妻子和三名子女勉強度日。
承傳了爸爸才藝卻寂寂無名的魔術師哥哥，於媽媽離世後，決定參加魔術比賽。有一天，爸爸突然出現於子女面前，為陷入困境的子女帶來一絲希望。比賽中，哥哥把城中著名地標「領袖像」變走，一鳴驚人，但同時為社會造成恐慌，因而被關進牢中。沒有人知道「領袖像」的下落，同時，魔術師爸爸又再次消失得無影無蹤⋯⋯
繼《大龍鳳》與《過戶陰陽眼》，金像編劇龍文康再與中英劇團合作原創劇《大偽術爸》，並由助理藝術總監盧智燊執導。原定演出因疫情取消，改以讀劇形式呈現劇作。魔術可以為這個「家」帶來奇蹟嗎？

Synopsis: Magic is a miracle? No, it's an illusion.
Magic is to turn illusion to reality, not from reality to fantasy. We thought it was real, eventually it is a misunderstanding of the illusion…
A father, an excellent magician in town and the leader of his family, always creates before his audience and family an impossible wonder one after another. The magician father disappears after performing in a big magic show that rockets him to fame, leaving his wife and three children to barely keep the wolf from the door.
The elder son, who has inherited a love for magic from his father, decides to participate in a magic competition after the death of his mother. One day, the father suddenly appears in front of the children, bringing a glimmer of hope to the family. The elder son rockets to fame by vanishing the renowned landmark “Statue of Leader” during the competition, sending panic to the town. He was arrested for the magic, but the whereabouts of “Statue of Leader” is still a mystery. Meanwhile, the magician father disappears without a trace again…
Award-winning playwright Farmer Hong and Chung Ying’s Assistant Artistic Director Edmond Lo work together again in this play after The Big Big Day and Go Go Ghost. The original scheduled performances at Hong Kong Cultural Centre have been cancelled due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease. The play will now be presented and broadcast live on Facebook in the form of reader’s theatre.
Could magic bring wonder to this “home”?
